Hi people

Please tell me how to remove the wing mirror glass without breaking it?

I used a thin broad piece of wood and went around the edges gently til i levered it out. The idea was to spread the force along a wide area. I still broke one of the plastic clips on the back of the glass, but not the glass

Take the cap off, then it's got 3 clips on the motor, pull it out gently, shouldn't be a problem.

pull that cap off you mean. taking the door panel off, removing the entire wing mirror its self , etc taking it all to pieces?

No just the plastic casing for the wing mirror. Lift it up with a small bit of force and then you'll be able to see how easy it is to remove.

8080s methods is best. Try to avoid taking the plastic casing off whenever you can, it never seems to sit right after.
